DESCRIPTION:May Day is a European festival of ancient origins marking the b
	eginning of summer\, usually celebrated on May 1\, around halfway between 
	the Northern Hemisphere's spring equinox and midsummer solstice. Festiviti
	es may also be held the night before\, known as May Eve. Traditions includ
	e gathering green branches and wildflowers\, which are used to decorate bu
	ildings and made into wreaths\; crowning a May Queen\, sometimes with a ma
	le companion decked in greenery\; setting up a Maypole\, May Tree\, or May
	 Bush\, around which people dance and sing\; as well as parades and proces
	sions involving these. Bonfires are also a major part of the festival in s
	ome regions. Regional varieties and related traditions include Walpurgis N
	ight in central and northern Europe\, the Gaelic festival Beltane\, the We
	lsh festival Calan Mai\, and May devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It 
	has also been associated with the ancient Roman festival Floralia.
